Big Love thread

Following on from AndyK's excellent Pet Hate thread...

What things do you really really love!

1) Fine dining, great surroundings and good company.
2) A long, deep soak in a very hot bath. Ideally with candles, bath salts and chilled out music in the background.
3) The Traffic Soundtrack (ideal for number 2).
4) Big Scary rollercoasters.
5) Very strong margaritas, ideally with Souza Hornitos tequila.
6) The Cowgirl Hall of Fame restaurant/bar in NYC.
7) Six Feet Under.
8) Wonderful bar staff.
9) Rummaging around flea markets, junk shops.
10) Florida holidays.
11) Walking anywhere with the feel of the sun on my back.
12) The cosseted luxury of a nice hotel room, especially MO's [:p]

Go on, spread the love...

And I thought I was the only one with this habit!
I'd go further to say a cold bedroom, but a warm cosy bed.
I especially like camping in a small tent in cold weather. I love trying to make the first brew of the day without exposing too much flesh to the outside temperature.

Ok, here goes...

Himself
Sopranos
Travelling
Planning trips
My laptop
Being warm and snuggly indoors, while it's freezing and blowing a gale outside
My eccentric and geriatric cat Jess

A good curry - and good being the operative word
The smell of washing that's just been brought in from drying onthe line (sorry, but it had to go in there!)
Warm climates
Dry sesne of humour
Chablis
Champagne!!!!!!!!!!!
